2.0 out of 5 starsThey are just milking the cash cow
By Ronald R. Allen Jr. on April 18, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
OK, let's be plain-spoken as Heinlein would've preferred.

The transfer is fine, as far as that goes. The problem is, it is "volume one". which was very much obscured on the page I bought it from.I thought it was the whole Expanded Universe _book_. And this _volume one_ includes most of his political stuff, not his stories. Look... maybe I agree with Heinlein in his political view and maybe I don't. In fact, it's some of both. But here is an example of _someone_ doing what Heinlein would have, probably, hated. Taking gross advantage of the reader. I never knew Mr. Heinlein. Except two fan letters, which he very generously responded to, I have no connection. Somebody out there is milking the cow, on this. If you advertise that this is the book "Expanded Universe", it needs to be that. This isn't. It's a very much abbreviated version, that doesn't include... well, everything that we Heinlein fans expect from an eBook of his named "Expanded Universe". We know what the original contained. And to be honest... maybe painfully so, to his family or whoever is rsponsible for this travesty... we never read Heinlein to get his political views. We read him to be entertained and educated on other topics. It doesn't make any difference if I, or anyone, personally, agree or disagree with his political views.This was sold as his stories. And it basically isn't. It's a lie perpetrated by whoever has control of this original work. To milk as much money as they can from the legacy. Expanded Universe should be an eBook, unto itself, and absolutely not broken down into parts. It was a REAL book unto itself, that Heinlein himself authorized. Breaking it down into "parts", or "volumes" is just milking the cow for more money. I don't think I've never given Heinlein a bad review, and I haven't still. I'm giving whoever the selfish cash-centic person who decided to release Expanded Universe this way a bad review.

3.0 out of 5 starsNot top-notch, not bad
By W. Handy on April 8, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
This was OK. Much of it is repetitive, and I'm afraid it displays more of Heinlein's weaknesses than his strengths as an author. His characters are thin. They tend to sound like (and be) mere mouthpieces for the author's views. They're closer to ideological tracts in the guise of short stories. It's somewhat interesting to look back at this period in science fiction and to read what Heinlein thought of his own work. The stories themselves, I'm afraid, aren't all that satisfying.

5.0 out of 5 starsStill the best.
By Amazon Customer on July 19, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I first discovered Heinlein when I was in the fifth grade. I found a copy of Have Spacesuit,Will Travel in the classroom I was in and could not put it down. That was over 50 years ago and I am still as fascinated by his writing as I was then. This collection has many stories I haven't read before and some . I haven't seen for a long time, but all are welcome in my library.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat Book of Short Stories by a Great SF writer.
By Roger L. on October 29, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Of Course I like Heinlein as a Writer, My favorite SF writer in fact. This is a book of some of his short stories. If you like SF and haven't read HEINLEIN, you should give him a read. I think you will enjoy his writing style. What better way to introduce yourself to him than with a few shorts?

4.0 out of 5 starsThis was a good book.
By Lee Brownfield on June 8, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
This was a good book... Heinlein is a master, of course... but this book delves more into the master's thoughts about World War 3 and Armageddon and how to survive - and could be a bit dry at times... Heinlein was way ahead of his time relative to knowledge of the dangers of Atomic warfare... his ideas on how to deal with the upcoming war seem a bit dated now but we still live in a nuclear armed world and we are not safe yet, so who knows? The brief introductions, updates and thoughts from the master regarded each story were wonderful. They gave some insight to his current thinking without changing the original story.

3.0 out of 5 starsCould be better
By Kindle Customer on June 16, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
As a collection of Heinlein's previous works with along with the author's comments I found it disappointing. I was hoping to find more material in the book, either in comments or stories. It did give a good perspective of Heinlein's writing career and shows how he managed to start in the industry.

4.0 out of 5 starsWorth reading
By City Girl on August 3, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I've read all of Heinlein's works and wanted to read this again. The stories are good but on a teenage reader level. Most of them were written in the 40's with teenage boys as the target but worth reading by anyone. Some very interesting theories in them.

5.0 out of 5 starsLove Heinlein!
By okcsrpaul on June 16, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Nice to have a few short stories to read once in a while. Science fiction has always been my first love of reading. Heinlein, Vonnegut, Assminov, Clark - all the original great writers. I never get tired of them and re-read all of them again and again.
